In the present article, the authors evaluate the psychological effects of the “illicit test”. To do this, they start delimiting their concept, and then analyze if it has any influence on the judge when resolving a case. Based on psychological considerations, in particular, the so-called “motivated reasoning” theory and the “motivated justice hypothesis”, they evaluate by an empirical study if the judges take this test into account when deciding, despite being legally bound to Not do it. In addition, they propose some mechanisms that could be used, both by litigants and by legal systems, to mitigate the effects of illicit veidence.

Los autores muestran su preocupación por la manera en que los abogados, de manera inconsciente, diseñan los lineamientos correspondientes al arbitraje al escoger como regla predeterminada la producción de documentos amplia. Se propone optar por una producción de documentos específicos en miras a hacer del arbitraje un mecanismo de resolución de conflictos más eficiente para los clientes, más conocidos como ?hombres de negocio.

After the rejection of bicameralism on December 9, 2018’s referendum, everything suggests that the opportunity for a major change was lost. The project subjected to the referendum was quite bad. However, its rejection is not so bad news. It provides the opportunity to a more consistent and technical reform. It is true that sometimes more from something bad sounds as something worse. More congressmen, for some, sounds frightening. However, there are strong reasons to believe that a bicameral congress, even with more congressmen, is better than a unicameral one with fewer congressmen. In this paper, the authors analyze how bicameralism allows that bills are passed by groups that represent most of the population, product of a broader political consensus. It allows that higher quality bills pass, as a consequence of a better proce...

El trabajo analiza los diversos sistemas existentes sobre los alcances subjetivos de la sentencia emitida en un proceso colectivo, mostrando su preferencia por la teoría pro et contra con la opción de opt out para los efectos de la cosa juzgada. Igualmente, se sostiene que la teoría de la carga de la prueba dinámica puede representar una solución al hecho que los demandantes del grupo colectivo puedan verse afectados por una mala estrategia procesal en el primer proceso donde se obtuvo una sentencia desfavorable.
